Chapter 579 You are not his queen

As soon as Yu Xia arrived at the entrance of the Federation base, she saw Metis leading a group of menacing sentries toward her.

He was still wearing his daytime combat uniform, his body covered in water vapor, his hair wet, and he looked hurried, as if he had just finished something.

"Little Potty, I was looking for you, the whole team has been delayed quite a bit."

When Metis saw the two people leaning intimately together, he smoothed his wet hair, glanced at their identical attire, his smile faded, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.

Metis strode forward, but was blocked by the sentries protecting Yu Xia and the others.

"Get out of my way if you don't want to die." Metis grabbed one of the sentries by the collar and casually flung him away.

The other sentries immediately drew their weapons and aimed them at him.

As soon as they brandished their weapons, Metis's men immediately surrounded them.

Seeing that Metis was about to make a move, Yu Xia quickly stepped in to stop him, saying, "Put down your weapons."

She looked at Metis and said, "What's wrong with you again?"

This is the entrance to the federal base, and with the banquet approaching, many people are passing by them.

If a fight breaks out, others will definitely think that the sea creatures are fighting amongst themselves.

Although the infighting is serious, at this critical juncture, they must unite no matter what.

Bello and Silver Fang watched the show from behind.

Although they disliked Metis, there's a saying that goes, "The enemy of my enemy is at least a friend."

Metis will not be their friend; he only needs to confront Farrell.

"Let's go." Farrell ignored Metis, put his arm around Yu Xia's shoulder, and was about to lead her inside.

Several icicles rose from the ground, blocking their path.

A chill emanated from Metis, freezing even his hair. Yu Xia, fearing a fight might break out, quickly spoke up to calm him down, "Let's talk this out, don't fight here."

Metis stared at her and asked, "Did you put on this dress yourself, or did he force you to wear it?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xia realized that it was because of the clothes she was wearing.

She glanced down at her clothes and asked, "Is there anything special about them?"

Upon hearing this, Metis frowned, a rare occurrence for him. His gaze slowly shifted to Farrell, and his voice turned cold: "Why did you lie to her?"

Farrell raised his hand and shattered the ice pillar in front of him with his supernatural power. "Don't force me to take action against you."

Metis conjured an ice fork in his hand and pointed it at Farrell, saying, "I'll ask you one more time, why did you lie to her? If you want the throne, then go and duel Serius in a fair fight. Don't make me look down on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Farrell pushed Yu Xia behind him and drew his long sword from his waist with lightning speed.

A flash of snow-white light streaked across the sky, and the ice fork in Metis's hand shattered into countless ice crystals.

"Then you should tell her the truth."

Farrell's longsword was pointed directly at Metis, and a mental barrier enveloped the two of them, making them invisible and inaudible to those outside.

Farrell's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Go tell her that Selius is about to die, and those two good-for-nothings are Selius's heirs. What business is it of yours?"

Metis laughed, "How can it not be my business? Even if Selius dies before we get back, it makes no difference for me to challenge the new king. But you, it seems you're already prepared to deal with us on land."

Farrell frowned and said, "I can take care of you right now."

Metis glanced at the little princess who was being protected by Silver Fang and the others, and said, "You wouldn't dare kill me."

Farrell's longsword was shrouded in black mist, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged as he said, word by word, "You can try, but you only have one chance."

Yu Xia felt a sense of unease when he saw Farewell and Metis suddenly disappear.

She sensed their mental energy fluctuations around her, knowing they had activated their mental shield, and walked towards them.

“Your Highness,” Bello grabbed her arm, “they’re probably going to fight, and you’ll get caught in the crossfire if you go.”

Yu Xia pushed Bello's hand away and said calmly, "I don't care what they're fighting for, it just won't work here."

Having said that, she strode towards them. Metis and Farrell's men were locked in a standoff, and when they saw Yu Xia about to go over, several orca sentinels quickly stopped her, "Princess, Princess, don't go over there. The boss is furious, and the fight can get really fierce. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Several shark sentinels silently stood in front of her.

Yu Xia sensed their mental energy fluctuations, her face turning cold as she said to the sentries, "Get out of the way!"

Hearing her commanding tone, which left no room for argument, the sentries had no choice but to step aside.

Metis and Farrell were their direct leaders, and in principle they should only listen to their own leaders, because the two of them were adversaries of Celius, unlike Belo Silver Fang who belonged to Celius.

However, the two are currently locked in a fierce battle, and in special circumstances, they still have to obey the orders of the higher-ranking royal family.

The sentries watched Yu Xia nervously, ready to protect her at any moment.

As Yu Xia passed through the encirclement of sentries, a chilling aura rushed towards him.

A crisp cracking sound rang in her ears, followed by a faint smell of blood entering her nostrils.

Silver Fang instantly appeared in front of her and pulled her back.

At this moment, the mental barrier disappeared, and Farrell faced Yu Xia, with shattered ice crystals at his feet and an ice spike piercing through his chest.

"Leader!" The shark sentinels' expressions changed.

Yu Xia was also startled, "Farrell!"

Farrell glanced behind him, then with a flick of his wrist, deftly sheathed his sword and pulled out the ice spike from his chest.

"Are you alright?" Yu Xia rushed forward, wanting to check on Farrell's injuries, but Farrell stopped her, "Don't come any closer."

Yu Xia stopped in her tracks and asked, "How serious is your injury? Do you need to go back to base for treatment?"

Farrell looked down and ordered one of his men, "Get me a new set of clothes."

After saying that, he turned around and headed towards the federal base, leaving Yu Xia behind.

Yu Xia stared at his retreating figure, completely bewildered.

Bello and Silver Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems you've won your first battle." Huanmeng's voice drifted over.

He said this to Bellow and Silver Fang, and the two of them gave him a cold look after hearing it.

"Not bad," Huanmeng added with a smile. "But how are you going to explain this to His Highness?"

Silver Fang didn't waste any more words with him, and a lightning bolt appeared in his hand as a warning, "Get lost. I spared your life last time, but I won't this time."

Huanmeng tossed her long hair as she passed by them. "Farael won't touch Metis at this time. Do you dare to touch me?"

Silver Fang said coldly, "Try it."

Huanmeng paused, turned to look at Yu Xia, and said, "His Highness will need me. No one but me can help you find him."

Yu Xia was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.

What did Huanmeng mean by that? Did he know something?

Huanmeng said no more, only giving her a meaningful look.

"Little Boti."

Metis's voice interrupted Yu Xia's thoughts.

Yu Xia looked over and saw Metis walking over, his body covered in cold air. He had several wounds on his body, all of which were frozen by his cold aura.

Silver Fang tried to block him, but he pushed her away.

Yu Xia: "Why do you suddenly want to fight him?"

Metis reached out and ripped off the seashell necklace from her neck, tossing it onto Bello without even looking at it. He then removed the earring from Yu Xia's ear and crushed it.

"You are not his queen, don't let him lead you by the nose."

“And another thing,” Metis said, “Your personal guards should be replaced.”
